The International 2019 champions, OG Esports have announced that they will be sending two teams to the upcoming ESL One Los Angeles 2020 open qualifiers.

The Reason OG Sends Two Teams to the Qualifying Round This Time

To increase the flying hours for players from OG Seed, OG Esports decided to send them to the ESL One Los Angeles 2020 European region open qualifying round together with the main OG team.

Previously, OG Seed had also participated in the open qualification round of DreamLeague Season 13: Leipzig Major 2020. However, it had to run aground after losing to Nigma.

Meanwhile, ESL One Los Angeles 2020 became the first tournament for the OG team after deciding to take a hiatus a few months ago. N0tail and friends will start their show at the third Major this time.

Previously, OG had been left by their three main players namely Anathan “ana” Pham, Jesse “JerAx” Vainikka, and Sebastien “Ceb” Deb. After being left behind by their 3 superstars, OG decided to bring in three equally great players, namely Sumail “SumaiL” Hassan, Yeik Nai “MidOne” Zheng, and Martin “Saksa” Sazdov.

The three new players will compete alongside Topias “Topson” Taavitsainen and Johan “N0tail” Sundstein.

Meanwhile, OG Seed is a team formed by OG which consists of players such as Omar “Madara” Dabachach, Rasmus “Chessie” Blomdin, Andreas “Xibbe” Ragnemalm. Zakari “Zfreek” Freedman, and finally Petu “Peksu” Vaatainen who acted as captain.

It’s interesting to look forward to how the two OG teams will do. Are they able to qualify for the closed qualifiers which is where there are two slots for teams that qualify for the open qualifiers.
